Excerpt from The Racing World and Its Inhabitants
But though books about the Turf are numerous, I do not think that one has ever been written on the lines of the present volume, in which men professionally connected with racing in various capacities, and enthusiasts who have occupied themselves with the sport as devotedly as if it were their profession, discuss the branches of the subject with which they are most familiar. The Trainer, the Jockey, the Breeder, the Judge, the Starter, the Handicapper, the Bookmaker, the Tout, and the Tipster, men who earn their daily bread on race-courses, here give detailed descrip tions of the business which occupies their lives; the Owner, that venturesome personage the Backer, and the Race-goer, write of what they know so well.
